We blessed Ellery during Fast Sunday today. She looked adorable in her beautiful white dress--the same dress that I wore when I was blessed as a baby, and the same dress that Addison wore.
It was wonderful to see her surrounded by worthy priesthood holders and hear the beautiful blessing that her dad pronounced upon her.
I won't lie, though. It was a hard day. More than any day since we've moved to Texas I missed our family. It surprised me just how sad I felt at not having our extended family be there to witness her blessing. Our ward family is great, but it's just not the same! This was the first one of our kids who did not get to have their blessing recorded by Auntie Kara's shorthand. I sure am missing evryone today.
